For New Year's we held an impromptu party at mine, involving drinks, nibbles, and a trip to a jinja (Shinto shrine).   Mum and I started drinking early, so the best photos have been left off the website!  Sorry guys!

 

Oh, and a special apology for Hans - I owe you a bag of chips (french fries)!

Photo of the room, and who's feet are 

those?

They're Mum and Dad's, and appeared on most

of the photos Dad took!  Not that he was drunk too!
